The fight once morest mosquitoes has taken a new turn since the death a few weeks ago of a young 23-year-old sickle cell patient.

And this call from Marie-France Tirolien was not in vain. And as everyone gives according to their possibilities, a company specializing in the fight for mosquito control did not hesitate to contact the Guadeloupe Espoir Sickle Cell association to make a very special donation: mosquito traps.
